Value of 2 Klipsch KG 3.5 8� 2-Way Bass Reflex Speakers

[Dan12345]

I'm looking to sell these speakers but don't know of a fair price to ask. I purchased them in 1996. Also, I would like to sell my Yamaha RX-V670 Stereo Receiver, Onkyo DX-C211 CD changer and Onkyo Stereo Cassette Tape Deck TA-RW909 too. All purchased in 1996. Can't find much on ebay to compare prices.

I have no idea what to ask for the speakers or these components. Any ideas?

I watched Ebay prices last year on the 3.2, 4.2, and 5.2 series

(including the 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5. updated models). I think the 3.5

would sell for $200-$250, depending on condition. At the lower end, a

good many KG 2.2/2.5s are sold, mostly around $150. KG 5.5s top out at

around $400. You could interpolate from those points.

Unfortunately, older receivers and CD players are a dime a dozen, so

you wouldn't get much for those. I saw two RX-V690s, perhaps a newer

version of yours, selling for only $99, and one had no bids. Even if

you sold them on Ebay, shipping them would cost almost as much as the

selling price. Cassette decks may not even be sellable, as recordable

CDs have replaced the tape format. I would find a deserving person to

simply give the tape deck to, if they had tapes.

I appreciate the response. Yes, after checking Ebay again, old/outdated components won't sell for much -- if at all. I'm better off just keeping them or giving them away. The speakers are just too big for my current living arrangements. I'm probably better off trying to sell just the speakers and finding smaller ones that can be used with the receiver. Any suggestions on small speakers that would work with my yamaha receiver?

Give us your room size, budget, used vs. new preference, home theater

vs. 2 channel, etc. I am not very familiar with newer Klipsch small

speakers, such as the RB series ('B' for bookshelf), so someone else

should give their 2 cents. The KG line did include the .5 and 1.5/1.2,

which are bookshelf size. I wouldn't really recommend the .5 as it is

very small and useful only as satellite speakers or for casual

listening. Depending on your room size, two small speakers with one of

the smaller subwoofers could sound as good or better than two larger

speakers. You might want to post a new thread with a different title

that specifically solicits opinions on bookshelf-sized speakers.
